Bug Description

Title: Tilt Sensor Not Functional on Ubuntu 22.04.3

Description:

Issue:
I am experiencing an issue with the tilt sensor (accelerometer/gyroscope) on my Dell Inspiron 7415 2-in-1 laptop. The sensor is not functioning as expected on my Ubuntu 22.04.3 installation.

Expected Behavior:
The tilt sensor should detect changes in the laptop's orientation and provide data that can be used by software applications or system functions.

Actual Behavior:
The tilt sensor does not appear to be working, and there is no response or data output when I tilt or rotate the laptop.

Steps to Reproduce:

    Boot the laptop into Ubuntu 22.04.3.
    Open a terminal or any application that should utilize the tilt sensor data.
    Tilt or rotate the laptop to observe the lack of response from the sensor.

Additional Information:

    Laptop Model: Dell Inspiron 7415 2-in-1
    Ubuntu Version: 22.04.3
    Kernel Version: [Provide your kernel version here if known]
    Any error messages or logs related to the issue.

Workarounds Attempted:
I have attempted the following troubleshooting steps without success:

    Checked for updates using sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade.
    Verified that no relevant kernel modules are missing using lsmod.
    Installed iio-sensor-proxy and enabled the service.

Notes:
This issue affects my laptop's usability and the functionality of applications or features that rely on sensor data. Any assistance in resolving this problem or information on potential fixes would be greatly appreciated.
